In the last two years, Melanie has not taken the time to go to the hospital because of the pandemic. In addition, he is afraid to travel in the middle of the corona virus is still widespread.

"I woke up with severe pain and since then my stomach is growing big," said Melanie explaining the initial chronology of the operation.
